Pace on Earth

Lost for Words

I've had various political conversations with my Gyp-Nor roomie and he has made his feelings on the upcoming election abundantly clear. He is of the mind that whoever is in control will do pretty much the same thing. There is no question that he is at least partially correct. The powers-that-be will always cowtow to the other people in positions of power (ie. special interest groups, big business, etc). And for those of us on the ground floor, things stay pretty much the same. Unless you have a direct interest in a particular promise being made by one of the parties your vote is not going to affect your day to day life all that much. And as we know election promises hold about as much weight as pillow talk. Having said that, and this is my basic argument with Normy(he did vote last time by the way), you at least have to make your voice heard. Even if you just want to go in and soil your ballot at least you are exercising your right to voice your displeasure with the current political landscape. It could certainly use a good scorched-earth treatment; start over fresh or something. Anyways I urge you to exercise your right even if it is just to stand up and saying "Fuck You" to the Big Dogs.
